The BIG Yard Sale, an annual end-of-summer event coordinated through York Township
Recreation, takes place Saturday at a new location, according to a news release.

It will be held 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the York County School of Technology, 2179 S. Queen St. in the township.

Also, the York Township Lion's Club notified the department that it would no longer be able to manage the event because of decreasing membership, the release states.

"We will miss the partnership we had with the York Township Lion's Club for this event. The group did so
much for it for so many years in an effort to raise funds so that they could give back to the community
through their service projects", Recreation Director Debra Hatley said.

"They handled all the day-of operations, while the department took care of registration. I know many people will miss seeing their friendly faces at the event, not to mention their fried egg sandwiches."

No concessions will be sold onsite this year, but Hatley hopes that will change for 2015.

The department is talking with different groups at the technology school to see
if one of them would be interested in taking on the event as a fundraiser.

"It is a great opportunity for a fundraising event, and I have been speaking with some coaches about it. Unfortunately, we didn't have time to pull it together before the kids were out for the summer, and the event happens before they start back in August,", Hatley said. "I believe that we'll be able to get everything worked out for next year."
